Earthquake in Nepal
There was an earthquake in Nepal on Saturday measuring
7.8 on the Reichter scale.  Over 5,000 people have died
and those who are left in the hit area are without food or shelter.
One heartwarming story is of the rescue of a four month old baby.
We have been remembering them in our prayers and today I told Joshua about it and asked him to remember the people in his prayers too.  He said he would.
 
Joshua stayed home from school today saying he had a sore throat.  He has been on an antibiotic for several days now so it is frustrating that he is still complaining of a sore throat. 
 
I took Sheri to pick up her car this morning at Erik's after taking Max and Evan to school.  On the way home I stopped at Walgreen's and picked up some Tylenol for Joshua.  After taking it he was playing and felt much better. 
 
James and I had some watermelon around lunch time and we shared with Joshua.  He said next to pomegranates watermelon is his favorite fruit. 
 
Trina, Rowan, Ruby and Lola came over for a visit this afternoon.  Addy was at her dance class.  I miss that girl.  Evan was so excited they were coming that he rode his bicycle around the neighborhood waiting for them.  They brought back volume 2 of the illustrated Book of Mormon and took volumes 3 and 4 for Rowan to read this week.  If he finishes the 16 volumes by July 1st I told him I would give him $25.
 
We love having Trina and the kids come to visit!

Lola and Max
 
Trina says she thinks the house looks good.  I guess we have made some improvements since she was here last.
 
This evening after dinner James and Paul went to Kim and Brian's to give Brian a blessing.  Brian has lyme disease and is also suffering from vertigo.  During the blessing James gave him he admonished him to read and study the scriptures to increase his faith. 
After the blessing we told Kim that Stacy was also suffering from vertigo and that Joshua was sick with a sore throat.  She brought some of her DoTerra oils and used them on Stacy and Joshua.  They each got blessings also from James and Paul.  It was a good way to spend FHE.
